In The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien drew upon the language and themes found in the old Medieval hero-tales in order to construct a kind of new mythology. The brilliance of Tolkien was in his departure from the Pagan modes of conduct and morality of these old tales, his creation of a syncretistic fusion between Christian thought and Pagan language, and so his work achieved a deep resonance with all who read it.
We find this passage at the conclusion of The Return of the King:
>The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.
Adversaries in the stories that Tolkien drew upon, Grendel, Mordred and the like, often served as obstacles that the heroes could overcome through feats of strength and cunning. Sauron is not like them. When Sauron is defeated, it is not because Aragorn is stronger than him or because Gandalf is wiser. They are not. It is only that his hubris was so great that it never occured to him that anyone would want to destroy the thing he held so dear. It is not until the final few seconds of his existence that he realises his mistake.
I think that I Am Jazz displays a similar moment. In the pictured scene, Jazz's journey to what he believes is womanhood is almost complete. He is resting after surgery, a triumphant smile on his face, his rotting groin held together by a labyrinthine patchwork of stitches and grafts. But as Eru Ilúvatar nudged Gollum over the Crack of Doom into the fires beneath, so too does the God of our world intervene in this.
>Pop!
In a second, the follies of men are undone and Jazz's crotch explodes, a meaty froth of blood and pus pouring out of the hole where his penis used to be.
No, he isn't. This man has no sense of humor and has never made a joke in his life.
But, if I grant that for the sake of argument, a president who trolls people is insane.
Go home Trumplicans, post stays.

Ehhhh, I'd say Reagan was more of a cultural shift. He may have been from a more conservative time as a whole, but it was also not too far out from the counter-culture of the 60s and 70s and his entire appeal rested on a different vision for the US than anyone else was offering. I don't think it would be fair to say pre-Reagan culture was conservative in the way it was during Reagan.
Oh lord lol, I tried watching that when it came out, but back then I didn’t even know the differences of the parties. Regardless I’m going to say it was cringe and an early sign that the left couldn’t meme. I like the daily show and Colbert report, idk if that means they could meme 🤔
No, he isn't. This man has no sense of humor and has never made a joke in his life.
It's dangerous to underestimate people this much. Trump absolutely jokes but it's just never self-deprecating. He has too big of an ego to make fun of himself. However he clearly makes jokes on Twitter. His rally’s are basically stand up comedy for boomers
Before, he wasn’t very liquid, and was always on the verge of bankruptcy. Now that he’s president, he can direct government officials to stay at his hotels, and some of them are finally turning a profit. Now he can buy all the McDonalds hamburgers he wants , and his cholesterol has shot through the roof, severely exacerbating his vascular dementia
This man has no sense of humor and has never made a joke in his life.
These are the same people who think that his joking about hillary clinton violating subpoena and deleting her emails was the equivalent of conspiring with Russia to derail the presidential election.
He’s repeated this multiple times in 2 days and before that. He said it at his NC rally dead pan serious about how they may have to look at changing the rules (constitution) since the current rules only allow 2 terms.
Well daddy is pretty crazy, but I still doubt it, zero chance of it happening let alone the dems, Even Batshit Republicans like term limits they would just rather get Pence in office.
I wasn't on Twitter today so I snorted at work looking at this. The 2024 and beyond shit always gets them seething. Like no shit he's joking. 50k subhumans really upvoted that thinking he's serious.
Lol, he's joking of course, which is why one can head over to the Donald and find them unironically trying to argue he should get an extra term because he was investigated, like every other president before him.
You people seriously underestimate what Trump and his base are, they aren't joking most of the time, he says absurd shit as a canary in the coal mine to see what plays with his base.
If Trump loses in 2020 there's a 100% chance he claims illegal immigrants caused it, the election was rigged, and he's the rightful president, and there's a 100% his unhinged base fully supports that.

Bold words from a party who's been crying about russia since the day they lost.
As we speak, Winnie the Pooh is hiring one hundred thousand Xi-shills to invade social networks. So long as they don't mention the Tienanmen Square Massacre of 1989, they shouldn't be subjected to such lies.
Imagine riding on "TRUMP. Should be SCARED. SHITLESS. MUELLER IS COMING. BE TERRIFIED HAHAHAHA!!" for months and coming up with "not sufficient" and "didn't exonerate".
Russian money has many reaches. Avenatti was clearly too much of a risk and someone needed him shut down before the primaries started. It’s fear, pure and simple fear.
Lmao you would take this literally. This is exactly why drunpf wins in 2020. You guys make normal people cringe. Hang up the TDS, and join the rest of us
Most of Trump’s base aren’t posting on Reddit, they’re counting the newly-added zeros in their 401ks, going to their daily jobs, raising kids, paying a mortgage.
And as long as Trump keeps SPX above 2500 going into 2020, none of that is going to change.
That dinner with Clinton where he called himself the most humble man to ever exist is fucking hilarious because your mind can't decide if that's a joke or what he actually believes
